I can't see any code in the repository. An example would be helpful.

Example for what? The repository holds the source code for hosted status pages. It's empty because no one submitted any pages yet. There's nothing you have to install, build or use.

unstatus.site simple hosts whatever this repository contains. Basically it's a (peer)-reviewed PHP hosting. You make a PR to include your page and that's it :-)

Already understood. Nevertheless an example would be helpful. E.g. with https://unstatus.site/foobar

It is quite ironic that GitHub has a "Major service outage." exactly the day unstatus goes public :)

Seems odd to me. Why would I use this as opposed to a normal PHP host, or some kind of Status SaaS that already exists?

And if I want to save money I could create a github page which polls my service via AJAX.

Well, a "normal" PHP host usually has at least some cost attached. This doesn't.

And if I want to save money I could create a github page which polls my service via AJAX.

I covered that in the first paragraph of the README.

Not really. Because you can host a static page on a different infrastructure to your main service.
